Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, met with Erick Thohir, the president of the Indonesian Football Federation, in Doha to talk about the circumstance.<\/p>\n<p>Since the decision to revoke Indonesia\u2019s hosting rights, no firm substitute host has been identified, so the tournament\u2019s future is uncertain. FIFA says the tournament\u2019s dates won\u2019t change, and a replacement host will be announced soon. <\/p>\n<p>Argentina, which was rejected from the tournament, reportedly wants to host. FIFA may impose additional sanctions on the Indonesian soccer organization. <\/p>\n<p>Indonesia might be barred from the Asian qualification round of the World Cup in October 2026. Conversely, FIFA seemed to absolve Thohir of all liability. In the upcoming months, FIFA employees will continue to work in Indonesia under Thohir\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.68.1 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; &#8211; Indonesia\u2019s hosting rights for the men\u2019s U20 World Cup, which is set to begin on May 20, have allegedly been revoked by FIFA.
